St. Louis at LA Dodgers
The Dodgers look to take advantage of a St. Louis team that is 0-7 in Jaime Garcia's last 7 road starts with the total set at 7 to 8 1/2. Los Angeles is the pick (-120) according to Dunkel, which has the Dodgers favored by 1/2 a run. Dunkel Pick: LA Dodgers (-120)

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Cougars are 2-0 this season, and they find themselves now ranked in the top 25. They face the Utah Utes (1-1) this Saturday, who are coming off a tough OT loss to rivals Utah State last week, with the final score 27-10.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While the history in this iconic rivalry famously known as "The Holy War", has favored the Utes over the years, the Cougars appear to be the better team coming into this week's game. They will be looking to avenge a 54-10 destruction in last season's meeting with Utah.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
There are plenty of reasons to expect a different result this time around. In the opening game of the season the Cougars delivered a convincing win at home over the "other Cougars" from Washington State. BYU quarterback Riley Nelson completed 25 of 36 passes for 285 yards and two scores, with no interceptions. Meanwhile, the BYU defense picked off Washington State quarterback Jeff Tuel twice and sacked him three times.

The Cougars faced Weber State last week, and Neslon threw for 244 yards in the first half, before riding the pine for the remainder of the game. The defense sacked Weber State's quarterback six times and forced a fumble.

Utah didn't look all that impressive last week, losing to the Aggies in OT. Quarterback Jon Hays replaced starter Jordan Wynn after he was knocked out with an injury to his shoulder. Wynn has subsequently decided to hang it up, as he has been plagued by shoulder injuries throughout his career. This isn't good news for the Utes, as Hays completed less than 50% of his passes going 12 for 26 for 154 yards in the loss to Utah State last week.

I like the Cougars chances executing revenge for that blowout loss last season, I think they will win and cover with ease.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
After opening the season at 2-0, and winning by a combined margin of 124 to 3 points against totally outgunned opponents, Florida State finally hosts their first BCS foe this Saturday. Expect FSU to be more than ready for Wake Forest as the Seminoles returned 17 starters from last year's 9-4 team that held opponents to an incredible 15 points per game. The defense might be even better this season, allowing just 3 points in their first two games, while only allowing an average of 92 yards per game (184 total offensive yards)! Wake Forest's offense struggled to put up 20 points on Liberty University, before a slightly better 28 points against a tougher North Carolina squad, but they won't have the answers against Florida State run defense, knowing that FSU is 5-2 ATS as double digit favorites since last season.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Our line opened at -8 this past Sunday in Las Vegas, but the early money has marked the depressed Penn State Nits down to -6. Penn State returns home off a heart breaking 17-16 loss to ACC entry Virginia. The Lions had led 16-10 with 10:55 left in the 4th quarter. With little time left on the clock PSU PK Sam Ficken was inaccurate from 42 yards out, solidifying the Virginia win. Ficken was an atrocious 1-5 on the day going for three. Interesting the Lions out FD Virginia 19-14, and accrued a 3 ½ minute advantage in time of possession. Further, PSU ran for 121 yards, while holding the Cavs to just 32 yards (1.3) on the ground. Overall, the Penn State defense performed admirably considering Virginia averaged 23.2 points per game last season and returned 7 starters on offense, with an experienced QB Michael Rocco. The Middies travel to Penn State after a week of rest and that 50-10 debacle in Ireland against Notre Dame on September 1st. Navy booked 389 total yards, ran for 149, but turned over the football in key situations. Critical the Navy defensive front could not handle the Irish offensive line that weighs in averaging over 300 pounds. The Penn State group is smaller and lacks the experience of the ND front. Recall, the Middies do field 13 starters from last year. They have a solid coach Ken Niumatalolo (32-22). In road openers under Niumatalolo the Middies are 2-2 SU handling Western Kentucky 40-14 last year. In true opening road games, Navy has a three game winning streak covering the spread. Overall, Navy is 37-17 ATS in roadies. Penn State shows at 1-7 ATS as a non-conference chalk -10 < or less. In addition, the Nits are 2-5 in Vegas of late, and 1-6 ATS in their first three games of the season. Let’s hope PSU is kind to Navy on Military Appreciation Day.

Ohio vs. Marshall
Pick: MarshallFOR FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
We cashed the Bobcats in their matchup with the Thundering Herd last season, a 44-7 victory in Athens as a patented Oddsmaker Mismatch. This time around, with Ohio now on the public’s radar due to an opening week upset of Penn State in Happy Valley (where we again cashed Frank Solich’s team), I’m backing Marshall. Ohio really did not play all that well last week at home vs. New Mexico State despite the 51-24 final score. They led only 21-17 midway through the third quarter before getting a huge boost from a 33-yard punt return (which set up a short TD drive), followed by a pick-six that landed them up three scores. From there, they did not look back. Marshall will be a much tougher test that NMSU was, particularly here in Huntington where they are an outstanding 105-10 straight up since ’91! Consider that Ohio is now favored by more on the road here than they were at home (-5.5) last season. The Herd turned the ball over six times in the first half alone in last year’s meeting with QB Rakeem Cato throwing four INT’s. Cato got off to a much better start this season, completing a school record 38 pass attempts for 413 yards against West Virginia, then led the team to victory last week as the passing game against topped 400+ yards. This is a very generous number that we will gladly take advantage of. Take Marshall.

My hats off to ULM for pulling off a stunning upset of Arkansas last Saturday night in Little Rock, winning outright as more than a 30-point dog in overtime, causing the Razorbacks to suffer the second biggest drop in the history of the Top 25 polls. Unfortuantely, for the WarHawks, there are more games to be played and their season opener will likely end up being their 2012 highlight. The schedule gets no easier this week as they again hit the road to face another SEC foe, this one being an angry 0-2 Auburn team.FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM

If the Tigers don't win this game (which they almost certainly will), then they are very likely looking at an 0-4 start just two years removed from a National Championship season. Up next, they have last year's conference champ LSU coming to town. While many might be quick to call for a lookahead, I'm not, as Auburn has opened with back to back tough losses to Clemson and Mississippi State. This is the one drop in class they'll face in September and I see coach Gene Chizik taking full advantage. This is also the season opener at Jordan-Hare Stadium after playing Clemson in the Georgia Dome (neutral site) and on the road vs. Miss State last week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Auburn has certainly had no issues with ULM in the past, including a 52-3 win in their BCS Title season two years ago. Including that romp, the Tigers have held the Warhawks scoreless for 13 consecutive quarters. The last four meetings have seen Auburn win by an average of 45 PPG with the last three coming by a cumulative score of 117-3! With LA Monroe off its first win over a ranked opponent EVER since moving up to the FBS-level, this is a letdown for them & a must win for the Tigers.

North Texas vs. Kansas State
Pick: North TexasFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
We were on the wrong side of Kansas St. last week but that sets us up even better this week to go against the Wildcats. They played a near flawless game against Miami as they racked up close to 500 total yards, including 288 yards rushing on 60 carries (4.8 ypc). The Wildcats drive chart was a thing of beauty as they scored on eight of their first 10 drives with an interception and a missed field goal being the only non-scoring possessions. Kansas St. will not repeat that this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
North Texas used to dominate the Sun Belt Conference but it has not had a winning season since 2004 however it is on the rise. Head coach Dan McCarney, formerly the coach at Iowa St., is turning things around. Following a 5-7 season in his first year, he possesses on the best Mean Green teams to take the field in a while. The offense has nine starters back and even though it struggled in the opener against LSU, what team doesn't against that defense? They rallied for 497 yards last week against Texas Southern.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Kansas St. is not only coming off that incredible performance against the Hurricanes but it has a game at Oklahoma next week to open Big XII action. The Wildcats certainly do not want to give away a lot heading into that matchup so coming away with any sort of victory here is all that is needed so they will not be running up the score to try and cover the more than four touchdowns. The game against the Sooners is the biggest conference test on the schedule so staying healthy is most important.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Considering North Texas was getting 44 at LSU and now is getting 28 at Kansas St., this line is telling us that LSU is 16 points better than Kansas St. on a neutral field and I have to completely disagree with that. The Wildcats exceeded expectations last season with a 10-3 record and while they have easily won both games this year, they are not up to that elite status just yet. Consider this, against FCS Missouri St. they were knotted 9-9 midway through the third quarter and outgained the Bears by just 75 yards.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Mean Green had the ninth-most rushing yards in a game in school history with 352 total yards in the win over Texas Southern. Kansas St. will provide a tougher test but the Mean Green definitely have a slight edge here based on the coaching matchup as McCarney has gone against Kansas St. head coach Bill Snyder numerous times so he will have his team ready. McCarney owns two wins over Kansas St. and that may seem farfetched here, the cover is far from that.

Led by defensive lineman Star Lotulelei, a future NFL first-round pick, Utah (1-1) will be very motivated to bounce-back after a heartbreaking 27-20 overtime loss to Utah State last Friday as a 7-point favorite. The Utes have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Utah has also played 5 of their last 6 home games Under the Total. And in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record, the Utes have played 6 of these games Under the Total. BYU (2-0) comes off an easy 45-13 win as a 38.5-point favorite against Weber State -- and they have then played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total following a point spread defeat. The Cougars return seven starters from a unit that was 13th in the nation by allowing only 313.4 total YPG and that did not allow more than 300 yards in each of their last six games. BYU held Weber State to only 254 total yards last week -- and they have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after holding their last opponent to 275 or fewer yards. Additionally, in their last 9 games played in the opening month of September, the Cougars have played 8 of these games Under the Total. Expect those trends to continue in this one. Take the Under.

We have a feeling that the 2-0 Wildcats are living on a borrowed Rolex these days and they?ll soon be paying for their come-from-behind victories over Syracuse and Vanderbilt. A two-headed quarterback situation appears to be developing in Evanston with Kain Colter and Trevor Siemian splitting time and that?s never a good thing ? especially for a team that?s asked to lay points for the first time all season. As it is, HC Pat Fitzgerald is an unfamiliar 7-19 ATS as a favorite in his career, including 3-14 ATS off a SU win. His Wildcats are also just 2-11-1 ATS as home chalk off a SU dog win, including a winless 0-6 ATS when the foe arrives off a SU win. And though we?re not thrilled with BC?s 1-7 SU and 0-8 ATS log versus FBS opposition in their first five games of the season over the past two years, we do like the Eagles? 3-0 ATS dog log versus the Big Ten since 1996 and 13-2 ATS mark as road dogs seeking non-conference revenge. Time is on our side today as the Eagles make amends for last year?s 34-17 home loss to the purple gang. Grab the points before it?s too late. We recommend a 1-unit play on Boston College.

I can't help but think the Ti-Cats finally hit rock-bottom last Saturday, as they fell by a 45-31 score in Toronto.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
They've run into the Argos in back-to-back weeks, and it certainly seems as though that home-and-home couldn't have come at a worse time, as Toronto appears to have caught lightning in a bottle. This week, Hamilton should benefit from taking a step down in class against the reeling Eskimos, who have dropped back-to-back games, and four of their last six overall.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Ti-Cats continue to put up plenty of offense, having scored 29, 30, and 31 points in their last four games. QB Henry Burris still has plenty of gas left in his tank, as he's thrown for just shy of 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Some key drops have proved costly over the last couple of weeks, but I'm expecting a much sharper effort from his receiving corps this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While the Hamilton defense has absolutely come unglued in the last month or so, it's certainly worth noting that it has ran into some stiff competition to stay the least. This will be the Ti-Cast first shot at the Eskimos this season, and as far as I'm concerned only one team has a weaker offense, and that's Winnipeg.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
It looks like the Eskimos will go with veteran QB Kerry Joseph again this week, although Steven Jyles is close to returning from a calf injury. Regardless who is under center, the Eskimos offense is a bit of a mess right now. Head coach Kavis Reed doesn't seem settled on which running back he wants to feature, and the offense has stalled as a result. There's just no flow or consistency when it comes to this unit right now, and even against a struggling Ti-Cats defense, I don't see the Eskimos righting the ship on the road this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Defensively, the Eskimos have been stingy at times this season, although much of their success on that side of the football came early in the year. Note that they've given up over 30 points in two of their last four games. If their offense can't stay on the field, their defense will wear down against a potent Ti-Cats 'O' this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The home team has won six of the last seven meetings in this series, although the Ti-Cats haven't forgotten a 38-23 beatdown suffered at the hands of Edmonton the last time they met here at Ivor Wynne Stadium last September.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
As bad as things have gone for the Ti-Cats lately, they're still in the playoff picture, sitting a game ahead of the last-place Blue Bombers in the East Division. They need to stop the bleeding in a hurry if they want to make a push to the postseason, and I fully expect them to take a step in the right direction here.

Ole Miss +10½FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
It hasn't taken long for first year head coach Hugh Freeze to create a buzz surrounding Ole Miss football. The Rebels are 2-0 and have already matched their win total from a season ago. Freeze led Arkansas State to a 10-3 campaign (first year on the job) after they had won just four games the previous season. I’m not saying Mississippi is going to all of the sudden be a contender in the SEC, but this is a much more competitive team than what we saw last year under Houston Nutt.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
I understand that Mississippi has played a couple of easy opponents in Central Arkansas and UTEP. I have certainly taken that into consideration. It is worth noting that the Rebels completely dominated both of those games. They are +445 in total yards gained/allowed, having outgained each of their opponents by 200+ yards!
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
This Ole Miss offense has taken off under new starting quarterback Bo Wallace, who was the 2011 JUCO PLAY OF THE YEAR! So far Wallace has lived up to the hype. Wallace threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns in the opener and another 174 yards and three scores against UTEP. It’s not just his arm that opposing defenses have to worry about, he leads the Rebels with 135 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
With the help of Wallace, the Mississippi running game has taken off. Ole Miss is currently 9th in the country with an average of 283.5 ypg on the ground. I don't expect them to come close to their average against Texas, but I think they will have plenty of success. The Longhorns have allowed 137.5 ypg on the ground against a couple of relatively weak opponents.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Anytime you have a quarterback like Wallace who can turn a broken play into a big gain, it really wares on a defense. Texas has very little to go off of in preparing for Wallace and that is another key reason why I think the Rebels could pull off the upset of the weekend.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The fans in Oxford have been waiting for the Rebels to be a national factor. The excitement level at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is going to give Mississippi a lot of extra injury, especially on the defensive side of the ball. When Ole Miss is relative, this can be one of the more difficult places to play. I think you also have to take into consideration that this will be the Longhorns first game away from home, something a lot of teams struggle with.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Texas is coming off a 45-0 blowout win over Wyoming, a game in which they covered a 39-point spread. Its a good time to fade the Longhorns. They are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a S.U. win and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
As bad as Ole Miss has been over the last two seasons, they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games.

Don’t be fooled by the Terps’ 2-0 start, which includes an upset over Temple last week. Maryland has equaled its win total from a year ago, despite committing eight turnovers. That sloppiness will catch up to them today against a rock-solid UConn defense that has given up seven points in two games and will cause all kinds of problems for the young Terps, who are playing 14 freshmen. UConn has had this game circled on its calendar ever since former Head Coach Randy Edsall -- one of five coaches on Harry Bondi's Hot Seat -- bolted for Maryland after the 2010 season.

The Bulldogs had their asses handed to them by Oregon last week, but earned the cover and will get healthy here at home against a Colorado team that’s hit rock-bottom just two weeks into the season. The Buffaloes, who have one of the youngest rosters in the country, opened the season by losing to bitter rival Colorado State and then got shocked by Sacramento State last week. Colorado has covered just one of its last 12 road games dating back to the 2009 season, so we'll look to cash another ticket going against the Buffaloes. Fresno State rolls!

Some things about how I predict CFB and CBB Totals will remain a secret and if they were not, Sportsbooks would catch on quick and we all would be screwed. We don't want that do we? Even though the same principles for liking this one to top the 53.5 to 54 point mark are included in this play, there is an intangible that I often use. That puts this one OVER the Top and gives me a 57.6 Number here. We certainly do have 2 offenses that can put up points and even the Hogs should get their share here on their Home Arkansas Turf. The Razorback defense and the mindset of this team right now is not one to put up a terrific fight on that side of the ball.

This is a lot of points for TCU to be laying this week, even against a Jayhawk team that was upset at home against Rice a week ago. I'll take more than three touchdowns as you have to figure Kansas was overlooking the Owls a little bit with an eye towards this Big 12 matchup.
